I'm not sure about the "more complicated to do changes in external
layers". Why is that?

Quite the opposite, I found it useful that the version independent build
rules (*) were in a .inc file and relied on including that .inc file in
a "dbus-cynara" recipe which builds a specific fork of the source code
[2].

But I understand that this is an unusual usage of OE-core. As I didn't
notice the change in time (it's in master now), I'll just copy the
previous content of dbus.inc.

(*) However, a recent change in dizzy and fido already broke that
separation when adding a patch for 1.8.2 to the .inc file instead of
dbus-1.8.2.bb.
